Thanks. I've tried that in the past. The problem is still that it doesn't give any feedback on progress. I still struggle to see how people actually use this with devops on a day to day basis. I think that some type of integration

Org-mode and babel sound like good ideas, but in practice I've found it very finicky to use. My main problem with it is that, unlike with executing commands in the shell, with org you don't get any progress, and emacs seems to han

I've been spending some time over the past few months developing a app for myself and family to help with this. Basically, what I do is: - make a list of books that I want to read - over time, as I acquire the book, I have a tool to sp

I was just looking at semantic-ui-react, and it looked great. But then I tested their examples on my mobile phone and it looked really bad. It just seemed that it wasn't responsive at all, which really surprised me.

This works pretty well with Spacemacs and org-mode as well. The "space" key based navigation is a good fit for touch keyboard. Not for heavy use, but for quick notes and calendar checking. I ssh into my home server and drive my sp

My opinion is that emacs/spacemacs is more optimized for day to day work, than for the out of box experience. Personally, I'm fine with that, and there are some great editors (like sublime) that work out of the box if you prefer t

That's actually a pretty good barrier to entry. With emacs/spacemacs, if installing it is too frustrating for you, then configuring and using it is going to be way too frustrating for you.

I recently started using honeysql and so far it has been great. There is some learning curve figuring put how things work, but the advantages of having SQL encoded as clojure data are worth it, in my opinion: - s-expressions everywhere mean

The thing to realise is that, at least is my experience, REPL based development doesn't mean your are actually typing code into the REPL. Instead, you develop code in a file, but constantly evaluate code as you go along. When I work on

My thoughts exactly. Once you are used to this way of developing, it is really difficult to be happy with less.

Thanks. Do you know if it works with the module system - for example, if I edit function definition in a module, and then send that module definition to the REPL, would any code using that module start using the new definition?

To me, being able to make changes to your code while keeping the current state in the REPL is key to interactive development. My workflow is generally to build up state, and then experiment with functions on that state until I get the corre

Racket is a really exciting language, especially with its focus on building small languages to solve problems. However, where it fails for me is in its lack of interactive development. When I investigated it, there seemed to be no way to ac

Under the old plan you could pay $10 for 2-10 devices, whereas now it is $10 per device, so the price change is a bit more than you suggested.

I once delivered a public speaking course to a group of prisoners about to go on parole. It was really eye opening to see how low confidence most of them had, and how bad they were at expressing themselves. In my opinion prisons should be m

I've been using this for a while. I like the fact that it stores dates/times of command executed. I plan to combine this with org-mode to quickly get a report of all shell commands executed while I was working on a specific task.

My go-to replacement for Wordpress is Grav. It is a flat file cms, which means that it doesn't require any database. All posts are stored in markdown files with yaml front matter. However there is also an admin GUI frontend for non tec

I'm interested - what type of app can you run on 64mb of ram? What languages are suitable for building these types of microservices?

This looks great, and something I'm going to try using. It looks like it'll work well for small "embeddable" widgets as part of a normal article or blog post. For some reason this made me think of clojurescript, and I th
